RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

228 92 October 16, 2010 at 01:35 PM
Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Texas Recipes


Bacon Jam

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. sliced bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 medium yellow onions, diced small
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3/4 cup brewed coffee

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet; add onions and garlic, and cook until onions are soft, about 6 minutes.

Add vinegar, brown sugar, maple syrup and coffee.

Bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up browned bits from skillet with a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes.

Add bacon, and stir to combine.

Transfer mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker, and cook on high, uncovered, until liquid is syrupy, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Transfer to a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped.

Let cool, then refrigerate in airtight containers, up to 4 weeks.

I can't believe no wins noted on SD about marlboro win this week, at least not when I checked earlier. Thought for sure there would be a lot of ear bud wins!
